Papertrey Ink Blog Hop



If you have never Blog Hopped before, go to the PTI Forum and check it out. It's a lot of fun and you can get a lot of ideas from everyone who participates! The theme for the blog hop this month is Birthday cards.

I decided to make a waterfall card, because who doesn't like a card with a bit of action to it? I made one once back in 2005, (you can see it in my SCS gallery) but I haven't made one since.....until today!



The idea behind a waterfall card is that as you pull down on the piece of ribbon at the bottom, the cards flip up and under and reveal the square below it.







And finally, after the ribbon has been fully pulled down and all the squares have flipped, the final sentiment is revealed!



I've tried to capture the card in action....
